Dantudu disclosed this on Sunday in Tsamaye Village, Sabon Birni Local Government Area, when a state government delegation led by the State APC Leader, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, paid a condolence visit to the people over the death of the Sabon Birni Local Government APC Chairman, Alhaji Amadu Malale.

According to him, cases of attacks have reduced tremendously since the deployment of the armoured vehicles, while the presence of security personnel in the area has also increased.
“We are indeed witnessing the presence of security personnel in our area more than before,” he said.
The Chairman commended Governor Aliyu for providing the armoured vehicles, describing the decision as commendable and worthy of emulation. He expressed optimism that, with the state government’s renewed commitment to strengthening security, banditry would soon become a thing of the past.
Hashimu assured the state government of the council’s continued support towards curbing banditry in the area.
Sabon Birni Local Government Area is among the areas in Sokoto State affected by insecurity arising from the activities of bandits.
The administration of Governor Ahmed Aliyu recently procured 62 armoured vehicles and 2,000 motorcycles, which were distributed to security agencies across the state to support ongoing operations against bandits and other criminal activities.
